D'Anna and Tony
Jason was a joy to work with
Jason was a joy to work with. We came from the US to celebrate my fiancé's bday and decided to do our engagement shoot while in Barbados. Unfortunately, our travel plans got messed up at the last minute, which made us have to quickly reschedule our shoot. Jason was very understanding and graciously squeezed us into his schedule. He was on time and very professional. His jokes and personality made our shoot fly by. Thanks again, Jason!
Richanna and Kyle
If this is how 2018 going to be... I happily welcome it.
Contact was made mid-November with Richanna about having a couple session done, we chatted back and fro about rates and packages. She wanted to have a shoot done early in January, somehow we lost contact and then Christmas happened... I got an email confirming the first Saturday in January. (Insert mad scramble to check emails).
For those of you in Barbados, we have been having a rainy January and that Saturday was a monsoon. Called Richanna to reschedule for another date only to hear, "Oh no.. my makeup is done" That is international language for... We doing this shoot today.
We played the waiting game, hour by hour and pushed ahead. On location, we had a 15-second window before the monsoon. The sound of disappointment in Richanna's voice was strong, we had to reschedule. The following Saturday we were almost dealt with the same fate but the weather held up and we were able to have an amazing session. I had a great time with these two, thank you Richanna and Kyle for giving me the opportunity to capture your moments.
A little of what went down
Darlene and Silvestre Wedding Anniversary
Received an email a few weeks ago from Darlene asking about some wedding anniversary photos, we chatted back and fro about clothing and best spots to take photos.
Seems normal right… The shoot was scheduled for Saturday morning and they were returning home on Sunday… (Bring all the coffee)
I wasn’t too bothered as I had done a few tight schedules like this before; it gives me a rush and challenges me to get the shots the clients need.
The morning of the shoot when I finally met Darlene and Silvestre, I immediately had a good vibe from them, Darlene was all smiles with a twinkle in the eyes and Silvestre had his $10,000 smile and firm handshake.
We quickly planned our shoot stages and locations and we started, working with them was a total walk in the park or in this case a walk on the beach.
Thank you Darlene and Silvestre! I hope to see you back someday.
Shout out to Jamel Gittens who must hate me for dragging him out on these early mornings.
Here is what went down at their session
Sherice and David
Two years and going strong…
Had such a fun time with this couple, at first David was all serious and about business (I call this being shy) By the fourth click he was right at home and giving Sherice a handful of trouble. I don’t think Sherice minded at all.
I met this couple last year at a baby shower, Sherice had organized for the photographer, guess I didn’t do a bad job on the shower.
Sherice emailed me and asked about rates and pricing for a wedding anniversary photoshoot. Business out of the way, we planned to capture some moments.
The shoot started off with a downpour of rain and threatened to cancel the shoot. Assisted by Jamel Gittens we braved and pushed through the weather and managed to pull off a fantastic Wedding Anniversary Session.

Trash the Dress
Anna & Edward
Married in Canada and Trashing the dress on their honeymoon in Barbados.
Anna and Edward just wanted to take some photos of them running in the ocean and getting the dress totally drenched, now what fun would that be? I suggested some photos of them before they ruined the dress and after. Well they totally did an outstanding job.
Here’s what happened at their Trash the Dress Session:

Tana & Raymond
Where do I even start to describe these two?....
I got a message from Tana one day asking about wedding packages, I prepared the list and emailed it to her. Few days after I received a message from Tana asking if I would be available for her upcoming wedding in December. Quickly checking my schedule I confirmed that I would be free on that date. (The wedding was awesome...)
After a while we met, Tana and Raymond have to be the quietest people I know... I mean super quiet! ... But it was clear that they had their own method of communication going on, a nod or a quick look meant a lot for these two.
In chatting with them I asked what would be your ideal spot for a Pre Wedding session... Tana had the idea of the rising sun along the East Coast of the Island. (rising sun means...getting up early!!)
And we got up early!! Had such a wonderful session with them.
Thank you Tana and Raymond

Waiting for the rising sun,
It's fun having the entire highway to yourself.
Here comes the sun!
